COURTNEY

It's been 2 days that he has locked me inside my room. Why was he so mad that I decided to work? I mean it's not like I'm bothering him or anything I will go on my own and come back on my own. Tears weld my eyes because of the way he is treating me. I haven't done anything wrong. He had asked Lina to serve me food from time to time and in my ROOM ONLY! I haven't touched a single thing that has been served to me. I have lost my appetite completely. I feel like Rapunzel, trapped in a huge tower, but Rapunzel's man of dreams came to save her and I don't think the man of my dreams is going to come and save me because the man of my dreams is a monster.

JASON

The day I saw her leave the house to go to work is when I lost it. I thought she'll have the decency to ask me if she is allowed to work or no but she just made the decision for herself. She is married to me and she has to be safe and I don't think she is safe. She doesn't know the place or the people here. Everything I think about what I did to her that morning, I feel like someone pierced a dagger in my heart. I know I hate her but I don't know why I feel this way. She bought it on herself she deserves it! She is nothing but a sympathy seeker! That's it! I hate her. I was suddenly interrupted by my thoughts when Tom came into my cabin. Tom is my guy. He has always been there for me and I trust him more than myself. He is like people say, my right hand.

" Sir Mrs.Roberts is quiet she has not been responding to any of the calls made by Lina or Jack. We tried to open the door but it has been locked from inside. She didn't even open the door for the morning breakfast."

"Let's go home."

We race to my car and he starts driving. We reach home in like 20 minutes.

COURTNEY

I was looking out of the window when I started feeling uneasy. I was not able to contemplate what was going around me as I saw everything blurring and I flicked my eyelids fast to make sure I can see. Just I heard Lina's voice calling for me to open the door for breakfast. I try to get to the door and ask Lina for help but I soon realized that I'm not able to walk. With great difficulty, I walk out till the bed but suddenly everything blacks out and I cannot see anything. I turn the knob to open the door although my eyes were giving up on me. I feel the door open. Yes, the door is open. I quickly run out of the room and grab a glass of water and gulp it down like I've hadn't had water in years. Then I see Jason near the steps watching me with a smirk. After he gives me the crooked look he starts walking up the stairs. I slam the glass on the kitchen counter and advance towards him. He is near his room by the time I catch up to him. I quickly turn him by his arm so that he faces me. He looks at me and before he can make an assumption I slap him really hard on his cheek and his face tilts a little and before I could slap him another he pulls my arm and twists it behind my back, still facing him. Tears fill my eyes.

"let go of my hand."

Instead of letting go he twists it even more making me wince in pain loudly.

"Apologise Courtney."

"No."

Pulling me really hard he shoves me into the wall near the door and I squeak in pain. He twists my hand harder and his other hand on my face pushing me into the wall.

"What did I tell you? you don't disrespect me."

"apologize right now!"

He pushes me further into the wall and I can feel my arm ripping out of my shoulder.

"I-I I'm sorry." I finally say with tears flowing down my eyes. He immediately pulls me by the hair and pushes me out of the room making me land roughly on the floor and shuts the door immediately. I get up and sit on the floor crying and wonder why does everything happens to me. Why do I attract all the negativity? I was in an abusive relationship before. My ex-boyfriend was overly possessive and used to beat me up if I spoke to any other man including my boss. He forcibly made me move in with him and used to take out all of his frustrations on me. After we broke up he started stalking me and I had to get a restraining order against him. Even in school, I was bullied by everyone. Why me? Why me god? I kept sobbing the whole night laying on the floor with my knees pressed to my belly tightly.

    INEZI saw rage, fury, and madness. His eyes were lit on fire. The look that he had on his face made me wanna run away from him. He was glaring at them without even blinking for a single second. His hold on me increased but it was very gentle.His clenched jaw was strikingly noticeable in the dark. He was pissed. Mad. I never thought you could see a real monster who is angry beyond repair, yet here I was in the arms of one very angry monster. He was fuming. His hot breath kept hitting my forehead. His chest was rising and falling constantly with all the heavy breathing.“Give her back!” I heard the thug yell.“Come and get her,” I heard Jason say. I shot my head at him. What the hell was he saying?“Alright,” I heard them. I heard them whisper something to each other but couldn’t make out anything as I was scared, that Jason might

    JASONIt had been a week since I spoke to Inez properly. A whole week. I don’t know what was the reason for her sudden change but she just kept to herself.I wanted to talk to her, ask her but she didn’t even give me the chance. She practically shunned herself. She wouldn’t even linger around me for more than half a minute. Yes, I timed it.It was getting frustrating to see her behave as nothing happened and act all normal about it. I had no clue as to how I was going to approach her because she was finishing all of her work early and headed home. What happened?It was since the last Thursday. I know she came in the middle of the night to help me get my drunk self home. For which, I was very grateful. I wanted to even thank her but she didn’t come to work the next day. Then it was the weekend and I couldn’t do

    INEZI was about to go towed when my phone started buzzing. I picked it up from the nightstand and looked at the caller Id. Low and behold it was,Mr. Pervert.How did I not think about this? I looked up at the clock and it was 12:30 AM. Just what is he thinking? I didn’t waste a single second and hung up on the call without even attending it.I swear this man is driving me to my limits. I put my phone back on the nightstand and slipped under the covers. I didn’t want to ruin my sleep because of him. I was way too exhausted and drifted into a deep slumber.I have woken up again because of my phone. I was a light sleeper and the smallest noise was enough to wake me up easily. I groaned loudly in frustration. I picked up my phone from the nightstand. My eyes were half-closed and I tried to get a glimpse of the asshole who was calling me at this hour.

    JASONI was walking down the hallway when I saw a kid standing near the reception. He was wearing a red sweatshirt and black trousers. He had a tiny backpack hug around his back.Who’s child is he? I walked up to that kid and placed my car keys on the reception desk.“Hi, who are you looking for?” I asked the child, crouching down to his eye level.“Mommy,” he said looking me in the eyes. He didn’t seem scared or lost. It was as if he knew what was going on. I thought the kid had accidentally come here or lost his way but he, on the other hand, was sure of where he was. Most of all, why was he here? And why did the reception and the security let him in?“Are you lost?” I asked him.“No. My mommy will be here to pick me up soon.” He said looking away from me. He was playing with the straps of his backpack.I g

    INEZI used my keys to let myself in. I knew Mel would have been sleeping and I didn’t want to disturb him. It was 10:25 PM. I went to my room and dropped all of the stuff I had been carrying. I wanted a hot shower to relax. I was tired and my eyes were practically shutting themselves but my stomach growled in hunger. After the shower, I changed myself into a tee and pajama pants. I went to the kitchen to have my dinner.As soon as entered I saw Lizzy sitting on the bar stool with her head resting on the counter. She had probably been waiting for me. I should have called and informed her but I was too engrossed that I completely forgot about it. Walked up to her and gently shook her.“Lizzy go and sleep,” I said and she looked up at me. I could tell she was tired. Looking after Mel and the house is a big task.“No it's fine, I still have some cleaning in the kitchen.&rdq

    JASONI couldn’t believe my eyes. So am I wrong? Was she not who I think she is?For as long as I remember, Courtney has been left-hand dominant. Am I losing my shit? Am I just comparing two random people to be the same? Is she truly not Courtney? I wanted answers but I was getting more questions.I was so engulfed, that I didn’t even notice that she had already left. It was all getting too complicated. I didn’t know what was wrong or right anymore. Was I chasing after a very wrong person? I sighed defeatedly and hung my head low.The day dragged along with me getting the thought of Inez. She rarely came in and tried to stay as far as possible. It was pretty clear that she didn’t like me. I shouldn’t have done that either because that was very stupid and disrespectful of me. I shouldn’t have even touched her today morning. After she told me how much she disliked me
